#UpliftingTheLives of the Farmers through partnership and collaboration to organizations with the same goal and mission.
Responsive Business (GRB) as per the European Union’s mandate and it will provide information, events, and resources for farmers, especially the women to succeed in agriculture. This partnership aims to uplift the lives of Filipino farmers by giving them equal opportunities such as livelihood and training, so they will be able to understand their significant roles in agriculture and economic development.
The partnership officially came to life when they had the contract signing in Chef Jessie in Rockwell Club, Makati last May 16, 2022. The event was graced by Ms. Lota Lazarte-Manalo, CEO and President of Ginga, Ms. Cherrie Atilano, CEO and Founder of AGREA Philippines, Ms. Charisse Malazarte, Operations Manager of Ginga and the rest of the agricultural business support team.
“Today, we closed a good partnership that believes in our cause and wants to co-brand with us to help more farmers, supports environmental sustainability, product traceability, and gender-equality in the food and agriculture sector”, Ms. Atilano shared.
Ginga Agrifood was established in 2005 founded on a mission that aspires to manufacture and sell high-quality, all-natural products that use locally-grown ingredients and support Philippine-Made products, as well as the farmers. Their vision is geared towards producing high-quality, all-natural products and expanding their market as wide as what they stand for all while uplifting the lives of the Filipino farmers through providing livelihood in their farm situated at Lobo, Batangas.
“Thank you, Cherrie Atilano and AGREA for this incredible partnership! We will continue to promote women empowerment, strive to improve the lives of our farmers, and give opportunities for livelihood in order to achieve our goal – food security,” -Ms. Manalo shared during the event.
On the other hand, AGREA is currently working with farmers through agribusiness management, teaching farmers how to be entrepreneurs, guiding them in the cropping production process, as well as providing the farmer’s initial capital to increase their capacity to earn, so they can provide for themselves and their families. AGREA team is also educating farmers with the right variety of ginger and turmeric based on the demand of the clients like a market-oriented approach.
Through this partnership, we hope to gather a lot of inspiring stories from our thriving women farmers and support them by providing training, capacity-building, and learning opportunities.
Together, let us help uplift the lives of the farmers and work hand in hand towards achieving food security, gender equality, women and economic empowerment!
